Pontyclun Back To Winning Ways

Pontyclun got back to winning ways after an extended Christmas break due to the weather. After a disappointing end to the 2014 year in the league Barry’s Boys were keen to make a strong start to 2015 and where better to start than against unbeaten league leaders Merthyr Saints.

With a number of players out through suspension and First Team coach Adrian James being unavailable through illness it was always going to be a tough ask. Being reduced to 10 men inside 10 minutes didn’t help but despite this the team produced one of their best performances in some time to fight back to win 2-1 in the dying minutes.

Due to two disappointing defeats at the end of 2014 the league has been put out of the boys’ hands, however with a few games left against the top sides the Clun could definitely have an impact on where the league ends up, and you never know stranger things have happened!

Pontyclun Steal the Headlines

A few murmurings about where Pontyclun FC could end up this season have began to surface among the local faithful as they extended their unbeaten league run to move up to second place in the South Wales Amateur League.

Not only is their form being discussed in the Athletic club, but in this weeks edition of the South Wales Echo Pontyclun’s dominant performance over local rivals Treforest stole the headline and there was a special mention for the in form striker Joel Woodington with a superb hat-trick on the day.

Games in hand for surrounding clubs mean the table isn’t perhaps a true reflection of where teams will be by Christmas but with confidence sky high and some big games coming in November they definitely are putting themselves in the mix.
